Chapter 49: The Request of Zhuang Wuxue
Due to the reasonable demands of the Xianjian Sect, an agreement was quickly reached. Following this, the Xianjian Sect released another piece of news.
They announced that they would provide ten thousand Mental Potions to the Treasure Merchant Association as a resource for the major powers of Huaxia. If any of these forces faced an overwhelming Chaos Beast Tide and found their supply of Mental Potions insufficient, they could borrow some from the Treasure Alliance. However, the repayment must also be in Mental Potions, and it had to exceed the amount borrowed.
This arrangement was understandable, and everyone present was highly skilled. Even if they were not familiar with the specifics of the Ten Thousand People Cultivation, they could infer from the Thousand People Cultivation that a significant amount of Mental Potions would be required for its higher-level practices.
After all, to gain powerful strength, one must pay an appropriate price.
The decision made by the Xianjian Sect was somewhat optional for the higher-level forces, but it provided a safety net. For relatively weaker factions, it was undoubtedly a boon.
Many times, their Fortresses would be destroyed by the overwhelming Chaos Beast Tide. Although members of these factions could often retreat to Famous Cities in time, the resources required for rebuilding afterward were substantial.
Many leaders believed that without the Chaos Beast Tide, their factions might have already surpassed some of the stronger forces today. Moreover, successfully fending off a Chaos Beast Tide often resulted not only in no losses but also in significant gains.
Thus, they were even less likely to oppose the compensation amount proposed by the Xianjian Sect earlier.
With all the heroes gathered together this time, it was essentially a win-win situation.
There was little left to discuss after that; many leaders took their leave. Only a few Peerless Monarchs remained behind.
Zhuang Wuxue, Leader of Yaochi Sect; Guo Man, Leader of Han Dynasty; Zuo Lengfeng, Master of Golden Tang Hall; Ouyang Mingxiu, Master of Heroic Hall; Xi Men Xiangyang, Head of Ximen Wangting; and Qin Emperor, Leader under the Dynasty.
Together with the Xianjian Sect, they represented the seven greatest powers in Huaxia.
The discussions among the Seven Great Powers seemed to revolve around significant matters. With such an opening, the Qin Emperor chuckled, "With the Xianjian Sect bestowing such grace, it is indeed the best opportunity to unify the martial world. Master Qiu has missed out on this excellent chance!"
Everyone present was well aware of the Qin Emperor's character.
To unify the martial world meant to consolidate the entire martial force of Huaxia, which would command nearly half of Yin Yang City's power. But what did they dare to think? To rebel? Would the Eternal Emperor tolerate that?
Understanding the Qin Emperor's malicious intent, Qiu ChujI calmly shook his head, showing neither displeasure nor regret.
Guo Mandao remarked, "I hear that your Ten Thousand Swords Classic emerged due to Baiyun. Now that Baiyun has become your Sect's Honorary Patron, I wonder which young talent it is?"
His implication was clear; he wanted to gauge Baiyun's intentions.
Zuo Lengfeng felt a twinge of jealousy. "The Xianjian Sect really acts swiftly."
The Golden Tang Hall was not weak in strength; it just lacked a member who could rank among the Top Ten of the Kings at that moment. Showing jealousy now likely indicated that even their hidden disciples would struggle to reach the top ranks, especially not in the first or second positions.
The others nodded in agreement.
It was quite possible for Yao Yun'er to be pushed out of the top ten, but for Xiao Jun and Baiyun to be ousted from that list seemed nearly impossible.
The only scenarios that could lead to both of them leaving the Champion Rankings would be either an untimely demise or both breaking through to the Emperor Realm.
Having already been so powerful in the King's Realm, once they broke through to Monarch, it was inevitable that they would soon become Peerless Monarchs.
The current Xianjian Sect, under the leadership of the Ancient Master, has already seen two Peerless Monarchs in Qiu ChujI and Elder Mei. With the addition of two more, it is evident that they are on the path to becoming the most powerful force among the Twelve Cities.
This fact is hard to ignore.
Elder Mei smiled slightly and said, "Although the White Cloud Worshipper has come to the Xianjian Sect, their heart is not truly here."
Some were puzzled, while others did not understand, but no one asked further questions. They all respected Elder Mei's character, knowing that she was not one to speak insincerely.
The Seven Great Powers rarely gathered together; in fact, this might be the first time since the Seven People became leaders of their respective factions. Given such a rare opportunity, they naturally discussed some cooperation and resource trading.
However, the situation at hand was different from when the Xianjian Sect needed compensation. The rewards sought by the Xianjian Sect were quite reasonable and did not require detailed negotiations. What mattered now was long-term cooperation and large-scale resource transactions. Each faction aimed to secure the greatest benefits for themselves.
After several near-disputes, they finally reached a relatively satisfactory agreement for all Seven People.
In essence, no one gained an absolute advantage, but neither did anyone suffer losses; it was a win-win situation.
Given the rarity of the opportunity, after concluding their discussions, the eight Peerless Monarchs engaged in a philosophical debate. Each gained significant insights before wrapping up this rare gathering. Since everyone had benefited greatly, they agreed to meet periodically for similar discussions in the future before parting ways.
While everyone else left, Zhuang Wuxue, the Leader of Yaochi Sect, remained behind.
"Is there something else you wish to discuss, Leader Zhuang?"
The relationship between Xianjian Sect and Yaochi had always been good, so Zhuang Wuxue's presence alongside a few other leaders did not seem inappropriate. Qiu ChujI smiled and inquired further.
Zhuang Wuxue began with a smile, "Get up, Bai Yun is still one of us from Xianyang City! It's just that you let the Xianjian Sect take her away."
"Zhuang Master, if you have something to say, please speak directly. There's no need for us to be so formal," Qiu ChujI replied with a hint of helplessness in his smile.
If one were to interpret Zhuang Wuxue's words literally, it seemed as though the Xianjian Sect had been quite unscrupulous in snatching away the unparalleled disciple of Yaochi. However, Yaochi only accepted female disciples, and Bai Yun being from that city had little relevance to them.
Nonetheless, Bai Yun was indeed from Xianyang City, which made Zhuang Wuxue's statement somewhat ambiguous.
"Then let’s be clear, I would like to invite your Sect's Xiao Jun and Bai Yun to help us tackle a Dungeon."
"Is it still that Dungeon?" Qiu ChujI asked with a slight frown.
Zhuang Wuxue nodded with some reluctance. "Yes! The rewards from that Dungeon are crucial for our disciples. Yaochi has never considered giving up on it. It's just that we previously lacked suitable candidates, so it was never mentioned. However, now that we have Xiao Jun and Bai Yun, I believe the chances of success are quite high. After all, both of them are top-tier champions in any era."
"If your Sect is willing to assist Yaochi with this task, Yaochi is prepared to offer three hundred Mental Potions or resources equivalent to thirty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins."
Qiu ChujI shook his head and fell silent.
